Lil Michael sheepishly looked away and took the opportunity to slip away.
Nicole laughed and slapped Clayton's arm, chiding him for being too harsh.
“What's the point of scaring him?”
Clayton habitually smiled and took her hand. He squeezed the back of her hand and carried his
daughter upstairs.
A few days later, the news about Riley and that delicate girl spread.
Everyone knew that Riley was duped, so Riley felt ashamed. He was not sad, just angry.
After all, he was just playing around with that woman.
Riley often had control over everything in this aspect, but now that he got tricked, he was so angry that
he was annoyed at everything for several days. Although Riley did not like that girl much, he spent a lot
of money on her because she was obedient and was
good at sweet-talking.
Now, Riley just felt like a fool.
He put out the word so that the woman would not be able to get any benefits from his connections.
Initially, the delicate girl could still rely on some people in the major film crews to make an appearance
in films for a living.
However, she could not do that anymore.
She was truly desperate.
The girl hid at home and was afraid to go out as she was scared that Riley would find her and settle
accounts with her.
After a few days, it was Chatty’s first birthday.
They did not host a big party after Chatty’s first month of birth, so her first birthday had to be grand.
Floyd made it a big deal. He booked a banquet hall and invited many friends from the industry to
Chatty’s party. Clayton also designed the venue personally.
Nicole felt a little helpless with their enthusiasm. After all, Chatty only needed a bottle of milk to be
happy. However, Nicole was so happy that she could not stop smiling on that day.
As a new mother, Nicole received a lot of gifts.
She especially liked a diamond bracelet that Clayton customized from abroad, so much so that she
simply could not get enough of it.
Grant was generous enough to give his little niece a trust fund so that she would not need to worry
about money in the future.
Kai invited many celebrities with children to bring their little ones over to play, which added to the lively
atmosphere at the venue.
Although Maverick was stuck in the research institute, his gift had already arrived.
It was a bank card.
Nicole did not even have to think about it to know that it must be his latest bonus.
Floyd gave Nicole a set of emerald jewelry and told her that it was worn by her mother, so she should
also pass it on to Chatty in the future.
Nicole gladly accepted it.
